Clinical Insights into Brucella Peritonitis: A Comprehensive Analysis of Four Cases.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and global health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionBrucellosis, a globally distributed zoonotic disease, exhibits diverse clinical manifestations, with Brucella peritonitis being a rare but consequential complication.
methodsAnalyzing the medical records of four patients with Brucella peritonitis admitted to the First People's Hospital of Kashi Region from January 2022 to November 2023. A retrospective approach was used to analyze the general data, epidemiological history, clinical features, laboratory tests, and efficacy. All four patients with Brucella peritonitis were farmers.
resultsAll of them were combined with decompensated stage of liver cirrhosis. The main manifestations were poor appetite, fatigue, bloating. Two patients were accompanied by moderate-high fever. All patients presented with mildly elevated C-reactive protein and procalcitonin < 0.25ng/ml. Brucella was cultured from blood in 2 cases, from pleural fluid in 1 case, and from ascitic fluid in another case. All patients had moderate-to-large amounts of ascites with elevated leukocytes in the ascites, predominantly mononuclear cells. Symptoms of the above patients were reduced or disappeared after effective anti-infection.
conclusionWhen patients with decompensated cirrhosis present with exudative ascites dominated by elevated mononuclear cells, the possibility of Brucella peritonitis should also be considered in areas where brucellosis is endemic.
